Ingredients Needed to Make Honey Butter Corn
- Bag of Frozen Corn – Use sweet corn or a baby gold and white mix. The size of bags may vary in stores, so use a 14-16 ounce bag for this recipe. No need to thaw the frozen corn. You can also use fresh or canned corn – cook fresh corn until it reaches the desired tenderness.
- Butter -You can use salted or unsalted butter.
- Cream Cheese – Full fat is best, adding creaminess to the corn.
- Honey – Use regular honey or hot honey. If you only have regular honey and would like a little heat, add a small dash of cayenne pepper.
- Salt and Pepper to Taste – If using salted butter, you may find the corn has sufficient salt and can skip adding extra.
How to Make Irresistible Skillet Honey Butter Corn
In a medium-sized 8-10 inch skillet over medium heat, add the butter and honey and stir until the butter is melted and combined with the honey.
Next, over medium-high heat, stir in frozen corn, coating evenly in the butter and honey. Continue cooking, string occasionally, until the corn is hot and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes.
Last, cut the cream cheese into small chucks and add to corn. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the cream cheese has melted and is evenly blended with the corn, butter, and honey. Salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and serve.

Is there something I could use in place of the cream cheese?

Sour cream would make a good replacement, just add it at the very end while the corn is warm (equal amount for replacement). It will be a little thinner than cream cheese, but will still be delicious.
